03:16:46 <Perth_Imirch> ok, so the problem here is my head, I'm not sure how to do what I want to do. I'm not even exactly sure that I want to do what I want to do.....
03:17:58 <Perth_Imirch> The Situation: I run my insurance through my parents (cheaper), My $$ -> Parents; Parents $$ -> Insurance
03:18:30 <Perth_Imirch> I currently owe my parents $ for unpaid insurance
03:20:16 <Perth_Imirch> I'm currently working on getting GnuCash all setup so that I can watch my money; income, expences, debt etc.
03:21:08 <Perth_Imirch> I'm not quite sure how i should deal with this situation (insurance expence, parent debt) so that when looking at things like reports (down the road)...
03:21:29 <Perth_Imirch> everything is tracked properly, and clearly
03:22:06 <Perth_Imirch> basically: i'm noth thinking about this right, and can't seem to find a solution that looks like it will work properly
03:22:27 <Perth_Imirch> anybody have some ideas/hints/tips on how I should be doing this?
03:33:08 <Perth_Imirch> nevermind :)
03:33:18 <Perth_Imirch> the cloud of brain farts finally lifted
03:33:57 <Perth_Imirch> and I realized, stop trying to track the debt seperate to my parents
03:34:28 <Perth_Imirch> they are after all, from the money's POV, logically my insurance provider
03:34:55 <Perth_Imirch> thanks!

12:03:21 <Sir_Konrad> what exactly is petty cash?
12:04:17 <jsled> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petty_cash
12:06:18 <Sir_Konrad> Thanks jsled. :P
12:11:28 *** e-ndy has joined #gnucash
12:13:50 <Sir_Konrad> jsled: Cost of goods sold would be an expense, right?
12:15:18 <jsled> I don't know, sorry.
12:15:38 <Sir_Konrad> jsled: ok. I'm pretty sure it is, but I'm just trying to make sure. :P
12:15:50 <warlord> I think it is. Ask your accountant
12:17:34 <Sir_Konrad> warlord: The thing is that I'm going through an accounting course for school. ;)
12:18:17 <warlord> Ah, then ask your teacher
12:18:45 <Sir_Konrad> I would do that too, but it is software based. LOL! :D
12:19:01 <Sir_Konrad> But, I was able to build an Income Statement using GNUCash and it looks right, so I'm A-OK
12:19:37 <warlord> :)
12:22:07 <Sir_Konrad> warlord: and let me tell you, it looks a heck of a lot better than the Income Statement made on the software! :)
12:24:25 <warlord> ok

13:23:35 *** jim has joined #gnucash
13:25:04 <jim> looking for info on how to have more than one set of books
13:26:39 <jim> trying to set church which has both current operational and restricted accounts
13:27:52 <jim> if i have all in same set have to trust that trans will get posted to correct accounts
13:30:17 <warlord> jim: File -> New -> New File
13:30:35 <warlord> I.e., each set of books is its own data file
13:31:33 <jim> i know it would be simple -- am assuming that i can switch between each set as needed
13:33:31 <warlord> Or have both sets open in different GnuCash sessions.
13:33:40 <warlord> However you will need to double-book transfers between the sets.
13:33:58 <warlord> GENERALLY it's better to separate based on taxable entities.
13:36:52 <jim> all are tax free - disbursements from restricted will/may be income to current operations
13:38:33 <jim> gift for nursery can only be spent for that purpose only
13:38:58 <warlord> I think it sounds like you should have one set of accounts, but just be good about keeping track of things.
13:39:26 <jim> and money will be in separate bank account
13:40:20 <jim> have it set up that way now but am concerned about clerks
13:40:51 <warlord> How many different people are actually entering transactions into gnucash?
13:41:36 <jim> once i get set up maybe five
13:42:29 <warlord> You do realize that they can only do it one-person-at-a-time, right?
13:42:44 <jim> i suppose i could get out ruler and rap on nuckles <sp>
13:43:00 <jim> yes understand one at a time
13:43:31 <warlord> even on pen-and-paper someone could put it into the wrong account; gnucash is no different.
13:44:43 <jim> i know, i am anal when it comes to money
13:47:13 <jim> just thought, one reason for separate books is reporting - looks cleaner if restricted is on separate report
13:48:21 <warlord> You can still do that.
13:48:26 <warlord> .. off one set of books.
13:48:37 <warlord> Just set the report options to include the correct set of accounts.
13:49:15 <jim> real newby question : how?
13:53:24 <warlord> Like I said, set the report options.
13:53:30 <warlord> Click the toolbar button, "Options"
13:59:35 <jim> sorry, do not see Options button on version 2.2.9
14:07:13 <tristan_> Hi all! I am a beginner at hacking GnuCash and I have a question.
14:07:23 <tristan_> I am trying to add a new feature to QIF import (I will submit a patch when it will be completed and tested).
14:07:31 <tristan_> I managed to develop the intended behavior in src/import-export/qif-import/qif-to-gnc.scm.
14:07:39 <tristan_> I added the preference items in src/import-export/qif-import/qif.glade
14:07:47 <tristan_> I cannot find out what is the "standard" way to get the preference value from within qif-to-gnc.scm.
14:07:54 <tristan_> user-prefs-howto.txt instructions seems to be outdated (or else, I really did not understand something).
14:07:59 <tristan_> Could someone give me a hint or an example, please?
14:13:23 <jim> @ warlord found it -- have to open report first - duh
14:13:23 <gncbot> jim: Error: "warlord" is not a valid command.
14:13:39 <jim> warlord found it -- have to open report first - duh
14:13:46 <warlord> yeah, I saw that the first time ;)
14:14:45 <warlord> tristan_: the qif importer is kinda... weird. You will also need to modify the C code in the druid-qif-import in order to pass the option value from C<->Scheme
14:15:09 <jim> warlord thanks for your help and time
14:17:50 <tristan_> @warlord: OK thanks, I will give it a try!
14:17:50 <gncbot> tristan_: Error: "warlord:" is not a valid command.

20:33:28 <Rajish> Hi, I have problem with windows night build from yesterday
20:34:22 <Rajish> when I start gnucash it says "Entry point to g_malloc0_n in libglib-2.0.0.dll not found"
20:35:52 <Rajish> any idea?
20:55:45 <Rajish> I've moved back to 2.3.15 and it starts without any problems
20:56:37 <Rajish> look like another non-working nightly build
